Taste test of seven cakes! From top left and proceeding clockwise, the contenders are: Mia’s blackout, Mia’s chocolate fudge, Little Cupcake blackout, From Lucie chocolate, Veniero’s dark chocolate layer, Strip House chocolate layer, and Hani’s chocolate blackout. We had three adults and one five-year-old taste tester (but she quickly became too sugared up to give […]

I can’t with the light roast sour espresso everywhere. I just can’t stand the taste. Why do all coffee place – and I mean 99% of them – have these disgusting espresso shots? I want a normal, old school espresso, no milk no sugar, like the ones you get in Italy (and don’t get me

https://www.richaudpetitebakery.com/ https://www.instagram.com/richaud_petite_bakery/ I’m shit at knowing about things in my own neighborhood. My dear friend of a pastry chef that commutes from Ridgewood had to tell me about this place, which opened just a few weeks ago and is apparently the creation of French actor Richaud Valls, with whose work I’m admittedly unfamiliar. Both he

On Tuesdays they have a Patty melt with fries and a beer for $16. It’s grown in price from $12 to $14 to now $16 since 2023. I’ve had it 15+ times over the past 3+ years. The patty melt comes on griddled toast, with burger sauce, well browned onions, cheese, and a medium-well (how

Here we go again. Is there legitimately no way the city can push back/discourage more of this crap from sprouting up on our blocks? They are always empty and yet somehow raised another $650M. Can someone explain this to me? submitted by /u/azeet94 [link] [comments]

Their sauce is definitely my favorite. It’s got the perfect sweet and tangy balance. Another reason I love NYC is you can get food from pretty much everywhere, and there’s something for everyone. Who’s turning down crispy fried chicken covered in sweet and sour sauce with a Diet Coke? Not me. —————————————————————————— Dude, didn’t expect

Haters will say there is no difference. Where can I find the best coffee roll in NYC? Don’t say Dunkin or a food cart. They’re good, of course, but I know there is something better out there waiting for me. Thank you, love you! submitted by /u/SeaworthinessTop554 [link] [comments]

I don’t want to wait in line for an hour for farm-to-underwashed-Taylor-machine yogurt with toe-picked toppings from mysterious foreign European farms. I want mass-produced mid-tier frozen yogurt chains with cream from cardboard boxes, and “small businesses” with horribly-crushed Oreos and Sysco sprinkles that look more like money laundering operations. If we’re bringing back 2008’s best

Is this how much they all charge in tourist areas? I know most don’t even bother posting prices submitted by /u/Valuable-Step-3610 [link] [comments]

Pizza lovers and connoisseurs, I have an important question: no shade to Massachusetts, I have plenty of homies there, but as a New Yorker, it boggles my mind that ANYONE would trust a non-NYer about pizza. Again, I have no issue with MA as a state, but with respect, the pizza is terrible there (just

Restaurants CAN LEGALLY ASK 2 things: Is it a service animal What service is the animal trained to perform. That’s it. So many people are posting that we can’t ask and we absolutely can. Also, the dog must stay under the table for the entire visit. If your pet was an actual service animal, you

We all often research pretty intensely before we choose where to eat. Which places recently have, despite you already researching and being excited, still exceeded those expectations? Which dishes stood out? Mine was the Russ & Daughters Holland Herring. I saw their owner hyping up the Nieuw Holland Herring on ig. I was so excited

Basically the title is my whole post, but I feel like Wonder is slowly taking over the city and it’s slowly driving me insane. I’ve made the mistake of eating there on three different equations (first time on purpose, next two times I was duped), and each time was worse than the last. The food

I’m looking for a VERY SPECIFIC type of Mexican restaurant that’s common in suburban west coast towns but which I’ve never encountered in NYC. It needs: – Complimentary chips and salsa on the table – Margaritas on the menu MOST IMPORTANT!!!!! – When you order a meal, it comes with on a huge platter of

Jubilee Marketplace (Greenpoint) – Google Maps Page Very tasty and high quality sliders, especially for the price. They’re more hefty than the average slider. Apparently the margins are very low on them. Used to be $2.55, but understandably higher now given everything is more expensive. Also used to be called a burger, but they caught

It’s feels like every week I see someone post about young people waiting in line for something stupid. I get it, I’m in my late 30s and I would never wait on line for a HeyTea or a Froyo, but have people considered that this is the closest thing to a 3rd space for college

Just walked 30 minutes mid day in UV Index 8 weather as a pasty pale person for this sandwich. I cannot imagine another sandwich I would do that for, however am open to hearing yours if you disagree submitted by /u/SneakBots [link] [comments]

Unfortunately I am not a local (yet), but I come to the city at least 4-5 times a year, so I want to say I know my way around the city when it comes to food. I think this visit was my favorite one! What I love the most about NYC is that there are

Might be pretty late but just wanted to share my experience. Finally decided to try out Mama’s Too Philly cheese, and it was a 10/10 for me. I’m not a big fan of onions but those onions were amazing on it & the cheese they used was super quality and gooey. The bread and meat

Kunafa Bites – Google Maps Page This Nablus kunafa comes in multiple sizes. This was the medium for $15, if I remember correctly. Took about 7-8 min to freshly make. It was excellent. Crispy on top with gooey stretchy cheese on the bottom. It was sweet, syrupy, and nutty from the pistachios. I damn near

I love rainbow cookies so I decided to do a 2 day run around the city to find the best one! Picture 2 are all places from Brooklyn and Queens Picture 3 are all places from Manhattan. WINNER: Mia’s (Manhattan): this was the most ideal rainbow cookie and was also the most traditional. It was

So I didn’t see anyone post about this spot yet on this subreddit so I’m actually looking forward to putting some of y’all on. This place opened up about a month ago and everything I ate and drank was fire af. (especially the cream cheese appetizer) Service was attentive and friendly and I loved the

We booked a table at 4 pm on a weekday at Boqueria at 40th st. When we ordered their seafood paella, the waiter told us it can take an hour to prepare and then we must vacate the table by 5:15, giving us only 15 minutes to eat it. (Nowhere in our opentable reservation did

Their mini dumplings tasted really good, as well as their crab & pork soup dumplings. I just wish they provided more mini dumplings and didn’t add a bunch of lettuce at the bottom of the container to give the illusion that there were more than there actually were.

Had a really uncomfortable experience at brunch at The Commerce Inn in the West Village this weekend that honestly felt discriminatory. I’m a brown woman. I walked in to ask for a table and the host told me there were ZERO spots left and that the waitlist for brunch was completely CLOSED for the day.

Last night Stephen revealed that he always eats steamed chicken during rehersal. He’s on 53rd and Broadway. Where do we think he orders from? submitted by /u/gloriamuntz [link] [comments]

Don’t get me wrong, their ice cream is amazing but there are several things about this business that really frustrate me. The hours are already limited (9:30pm closing) and after seeing all their creative flavors posted on Instagram, you get there at 8:30 and they are out of almost all their flavors except one or

I was able to snatch a last minute one person reservation for tonight and was pretty excited, cuz I know it’s hard to get into this place. The experience was, well, underwhelming. The food itself wasn’t bad; it’s not mind blowing, a bit uneven, but generally pretty decent. There aren’t many Cambodian restaurants in NYC,

There was no way I was standing in line for that long, so a month ago, I booked a reservation at Golden Diner (not easy btw, I had to be very quick cause the spots disappear in seconds). I didn’t mind waiting a month to try it. What I went for is the honey butter

Great for the price tbh, but they definitely try their best to skimp on the ice cream by setting it around the rim of the cone. lol Also, no wait when I went during lunchtime on a weekday. submitted by /u/DinerEnBlanc [link] [comments]

Flavors are Yuzu, Dark Chocolate Ash, and Red Bean Vanilla submitted by /u/ZenghisZan [link] [comments]

Went to Sip from Sip & Guzzle. Their Royale with cheese was delicious and my favorite thing on the menu. The shake it came with I didn’t like at all. The pork yaki skewer I highly recommend. Volcano roll was good, but probably wouldn’t order again. Mochi fries were good as well. I thought the

Not pictured is the rugelach and carrot cake which are also divine. I’ve only been once before and got the Lil Shonda before which was equally as good as the patty melt imo. I’ll try the Tuna Melt eventually! submitted by /u/Chrominumv2 [link] [comments]

Gao Xiao Pa – Google Maps This is a more unique take on rou jia mo with stacked marinated chicken thigh cooked on a vertical rotisserie. They even have pineapple on top of the spit like al pastor would. Think you can get a slice of pineapple with your rou jia mo if you ask.

Just had lunch at this Ridgewood outpost that’s been on my list for years. Mama Yoshi is a neighborhood fast casual restaurant that serves chicken katsu sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and katsu curry bowls. They also sell an assortment of imported Japanese pantry goods and snacks like ramen, curry blocks, staple condiments, chocolate bars, and canned

Went to The Long Island Bar in Cobble Hill and really enjoyed its laid back atmosphere. There deviled eggs and LI Burger were standouts to me. Also, really liked their Long Island Gimlet drink. I would definitely go back. Long Island Bar website: https://www.thelongislandbar.com/ submitted by /u/Euphoric_Emergency31 [link] [comments]
